Successful paper roll handling project at DS Smith in France


France by Minda. The paper mill at Contoire-Hamel produces recycled paper for corrugated board, such as testliner and fluting. The installation followed the acquisition of a new winding machine for the paper reels. As its project partner, Minda chose MoveRoll with the system including Minda’s plastic chain conveyor, MoveRoll’s Horizontal Conveyor, Kicker and Zero Energy Receiver. Common features of these


A


products are gentle roll transport and very low maintenance needs. Isem Akrout, manager of the


project at Minda, said: “DS Smith needed an automated conveying solution for a new winding machine. The cooperation of Minda and MoveRoll in realising


n automated roll conveying system has been installed at DS Smith’s mill in northern


this project has worked very well. Together, we developed a great solution consisting of Minda and MoveRoll components. For us, this shall not remain the only project cooperation. We look forward to facing new common roll handling challenges in the future as well.” After the paper has been


rewound in the winding machine, a roll leaves the winder in direction of the chain conveyor. Gently cushioned by MoveRoll Zero Energy Receiver, the roll settles on Minda’s plastic chain conveyor. Transported by the plastic chain conveyor, the roll is labeled. After labelling, the MoveRoll


Kicker pushes the roll onto a conveying length made up of MoveRoll Horizontal Conveyor modules. These modules are equipped with pressure elements that transport the moving roll carefully over a conveying length


of approximately 12 m to the elevator. The elevator then moves the roll to the lower level where the roll is processed further by the corrugator. “The installation and the start-up of the MoveRoll conveyors were convenient and fast. It is a great and innovative solution to handle reels: Everyone is impressed by


the way the reels are moved and stopped,” said Lionel Bernard, maintenance and project manager at DS Smith Contoire-Hamel. To make MoveRoll’s innovative


roll handling products internationally available, it cooperates with system integrators that have a strong expertise in paper roll handling. MoveRoll aims to expand this network continuously and has recently found new partners in Europe. Minda, based in Germany and specialised on intralogistics systems for the corrugated, solid board and paper industry, is one of these new partners. “This was our first delivery to Minda,” says MoveRoll’s area sales manager Jonis Mahmutllari. “They carried out the installation in France successfully. This once again shows that our products are very easy to install and integrate; meaning our partners can install MoveRoll products independently – even with little or no prior common project experience.” More information from www. moveroll.com and www.minda.de
